Good Causes

Removal of plastic from land, recycling of plastic products to avoid them going into the ocean, this can be in the UK or worldwide. We want to do this to avoid animals getting hurt, stuck in fishing nets, ingesting plastic debris or microplastics. By 2030, there is scheduled to be more plastic in the ocean than fish. We want to prevent this from happening, removing one bottle or bag at a time can make a huge difference.

All plastic items we collect are processed for recycling locally, we never send plastic abroad.

Every time you sort your recycling into your bins, it’s a gamble. Approximately 9% of all plastic actually gets recycled worldwide. Meaning over 90% of what you put in your recycling bin gets incinerated or sent to landfill.

Plastic recycling is a critical component of efforts to address the global issue of plastic pollution. Millions of tons of plastic waste enter the world’s oceans each year, posing significant threats to marine ecosystems, wildlife, and human health. Recycling plastic is one step of reducing plastic pollution the other is reducing the plastic waste we produce.

Plastic litter is collected from our roads, beaches, parks, woodland areas, lakes, rivers and oceans through various methods, such as clean-up initiatives, litter picking, fishing for plastic, and the deployment of specialized equipment like floating barriers.

After sorting the plastics by type and colour, the plastic undergoes a cleaning process to remove contaminants such as dirt, labels, adhesives, food residue and other contaminants. Cleaned plastic is more suitable for recycling and processing. The cleaned plastic is then mechanically shredded into smaller pieces or flakes. Shredding increases the surface area of the plastic, making it easier to handle in subsequent processing steps. To ensure accurate recycling, the plastic flakes are identified using resin codes. These resin codes, often found on the bottom of plastic containers, indicate the type of plastic (e.g., PET, HDPE) and help in determining the appropriate recycling method. The shredded plastic is melted or granulated and formed into pellets. This is then used to manufacture new products. This can include a wide range of items such as bottles, containers, packaging materials, textiles, and more.

While plastic recycling is an important step in addressing marine pollution, it is equally important to focus on preventing plastic from entering the oceans in the first place. This involves reducing plastic production, promoting sustainable alternatives, and improving waste management infrastructure globally.

Recycling diverts plastic waste from landfills, helping to alleviate the strain on landfill capacities and reducing the environmental hazards associated with plastic disposal.

Companies love to place the blame on the consumer, we feel there needs to be a change. The consumer only can have what is accessible to them. There needs to be Implemented EPR policies (Extended Producer Responsibility) where producers are held responsible for the entire life cycle of their products, including proper disposal and recycling. This can incentivize manufacturers to reduce the use of single-use plastics.

Working together we can make a difference. Stripping our waters from the burden of plastic waste one bottle or bag at a time.

We have an incredible passion for the welfare of all animals, Animal welfare refers to the well-being of animals, encompassing both their physical and psychological health. It involves ensuring that animals are treated ethically and provided with adequate living conditions, nutrition, veterinary care, and protection from unnecessary harm or suffering.

The concept of animal welfare recognizes that animals have intrinsic value and should be treated with respect and consideration for their needs. We provide food and medical treatment for stray animals and for owners who cannot afford to help their beloved pets in need. All animals have basic needs, we provide one off and ongoing care.

Basic needs

Food and Water: Animals should have access to a proper diet and clean water.

Shelter: Adequate housing and protection from extreme weather conditions.

Healthcare: Regular veterinary care to prevent and treat illnesses.

Freedom from Discomfort: Animals should be provided with an environment that allows them to express natural behaviours and avoid discomfort.

Freedom from Pain, Injury, or Disease: Measures should be taken to prevent and address health issues promptly.

Freedom to Express Normal Behaviour: Animals should be allowed to engage in behaviours that are natural to their species.

Socialization: For social animals, appropriate opportunities for interaction with others of their kind.

Humane Treatment: Avoidance of cruel or inhumane practices, such as unnecessary confinement, physical abuse, or neglect.

Ethical Considerations: Ethical treatment involves respecting the inherent value of animals and considering their welfare in various human activities, including farming, research, entertainment, and pet ownership.

We want to educate and promote responsible and compassionate treatment of animals.

‘To recognise the whole human race as one’

We want to prove that we are all equal. The only way to prove this is to eat together. We believe no-body should experience hunger.

We provide meals to those in need all over the world but also right here in the UK. With the cost of living crisis increasing poverty, 65% of the UK have less than £200 in savings or are living 1 pay cheque away from losing their home.

We understand the important decision people face, paying for heating or food.

Anybody can become vulnerable at any stage of their lives. We wanted to take the stigma out of feeling helpless and embarrassed to ask for help.

People on a daily basis face food insecurity, meaning they lack reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food. A Hunger crises can result from various factors, including natural disasters, conflicts, economic instability, and other emergencies.

Here are some common causes and ways to address hunger crises:

• Conflict and Displacement: Armed conflicts and displacement of populations can disrupt food production, distribution, and access. Providing humanitarian aid, ensuring safe access for food delivery, and supporting peace-building efforts are crucial in such situations.

• Natural Disasters: Events like hurricanes, floods, droughts, and earthquakes can devastate agricultural systems, leading to food shortages. Emergency relief efforts, including food distribution, clean water provision, and rebuilding infrastructure, are essential to address immediate needs.

• Economic Challenges: Economic instability, unemployment, and poverty can contribute to food insecurity. Implementing social safety nets, job creation programs, and economic development initiatives can help address the root causes of hunger.

• Climate Change: Changes in climate patterns can impact crop yields, water availability, and food production. Sustainable agriculture practices, climate-resilient crops, and global efforts to mitigate climate change are essential for long-term food security

• Education and Empowerment: Promoting education and empowering communities to sustainably manage their resources can contribute to long-term food security.

• Emergency Food Aid: Providing immediate food aid during crises is essential to address acute hunger. This can include the distribution of food packages, ready-to-eat meals, and nutritional support for vulnerable populations.

• Research and Innovation: Investing in agricultural research, technology, and innovation can lead to more resilient and productive food systems, helping communities adapt to changing conditions.

It is estimated that 15.3 Billion trees are cut down each year globally. This figure includes both natural and human-induced causes, such as logging, agriculture expansion, and infrastructure development.

Tree planting is the process of transplanting tree seedlings for forestry and land reclamation purposes. This practice is essential for environmental and ecological reasons, as trees play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of ecosystems and mitigating the impacts of climate change.

Environmental benefits

• Carbon Sequestration: Trees absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, helping to reduce greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere.

• Oxygen Production: Trees release oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis, contributing to improved air quality.

• Biodiversity: Trees provide safe habitat for various wildlife species, promoting biodiversity.

• Erosion control: Tree roots help bind soil particles together, preventing erosion and promoting soil stability.

• Water Conservation: Trees contribute to water retention in the soil, reducing the risk of floods and helping maintain groundwater levels.

• Aesthetic and Recreational Value: Trees enhance the visual appeal of landscapes and provide shade for recreational activities.

• Urban Heat Island Mitigation: Trees in urban areas can help reduce the heat island effect by providing shade and cooling the surroundings.

• Community Engagement: Tree planting often involves community participation, fostering a sense of environmental responsibility and community pride.

• Reforestation: Planting trees in deforested or degraded areas helps restore ecosystems and support the regeneration of natural habitats.

• Sustainable Development: Integrating tree planting into sustainable development practices supports long term environmental and social goals to combat climate change and environmental degradation.

Some of our trees we plant will be fruit trees, these trees will be for the people. Our community trees will provide shade and free fruit for the locals.

Donate to plant a tree and join us on our mission to plant 250,000 trees by 31st Dec 2030.
